ugh I follow a lot of Russian artists and I'm watching them telling their followers they can't complete orders because of the air space ban

I feel awful for them. a lot of these people operate small businesses

Yeah, honestly. People can blame Putin but shouldn’t hate on Russians. They’re stuck in a shit situation and they don’t want this either.

absolutely. I feel awful for them

I hope your husband is doing okay

His family are ethnic Russians from Latvia, so they are watching things very warily.

If the maniac succeeds in Ukraine, will he hit the Baltics? Who knows!

oh no

are they safe at least?

He himself is here in Canada, so he’s the safest of them.

Yeah there’s a NATO base in Latvia, so they’re okay for now.

oh I should have clarified-- oh that's a relief

Nonsense like this goes down and regular people suffer in both countries and the Putins carry on doing what they want. Idek how it will end; he doesn’t seem to care what consequences will occur.

Putin's unhinged and dangerous without any checks or balances

he is.

I feel awful for everyone who's livelihoods or lives are being lost by him....
